There is one thing I want to say first off, I am not closing down! Far from it actually, bursting with ideas. I have been getting concerned messages from amazingly supportive people, and I am here to say, no I am NOT closing my store. Honestly I can see where the confusion has come from, I confuse myself.
So let me give you a little run down on my future plans :
- What I'm aiming to try and do is sell all my 'instock' stamps. Once they are sold out, they are retired. WHY? After my break I really want a fresh start with new designs and slightly new look for the store. Only I don't want to work on this, until all the stamps are GONE. Or well close enough to gone.
This is something I was actually thinking about months before I took my break. I've discussed my idea with a few people, mainly my craft bud, Jodie. Jodie let me talk in circles one time on the phone for at least an hour. The result I am pretty sure, I confused us both, mission accomplished, haha.
- So what's going to change? I usually always release a stamp set/s per month. So nothing will change there. What will change is once it's sold out, it's gone, retired early and onto the next months release. Almost like every release will be a limited edition. When you look at it, they sort of are.
- I do have subscribers. But once their contracts are up, I am not looking to take on anymore. Just for now, not saying never again. I wont lie, I am all about trial and error. I want to make all my customers happy. Find what works for everyone.
To keep up with when I have a release and try get in first, you can follow me here on the blog, where I plan to start sharing the release/s every month on the day of release. Also follow my facebook page, here and or my instagram, here.

Is there any way to have notice of a stamp set release a few days in advance (like on the blog or Instagram)? I know makers like to have a sort of "gotta pounce on it before it's gone" aura around their releases, as it creates hype and anticipation. But the down side is it can actually also create stress and sadness amongst fans who actually have to save up to buy things, instead of impulse purchasing everything they like, and are thus always missing out on limited release items. It might not seem like a lot to have $20 or so to spare all the time, but some folks don't! No personal criticism meant, of course. Just a bit of feedback from the poorer end of the crafting spectrum! XD

I have sent you a email Violetta. I don't take offence to this at all and I am always taking on what my customers tell me, as without all of you I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing right now and loving it!
